✦ “Today’s young mums are often seen pushing their offspring’s pram, with one hand, texting on their mobile while baby looks on. What about pointing out things of interest to the baby to help them to learn about the world? Sadly, in no time baby may well have a screen as a toy and all he or she will have learned in life will be via a screen without interaction or communication from a human being.” Cilla ✦ “I foster, and have had my share of overweight children staying with me over the years. On learning what they’ve been brought up on, I’m never surprised. Too many fatty foods and sugary drinks. One child thought it was normal to have chips and ice cream twice a day – most of these children had problems with their teeth too. We need to educate adults and children. Britain needs to eat less, more healthily.” Allyson
